I Be Trippin'

I can totally feel my old English teacher cringe from here...What? Pasty white girls can be fluent in ebonics too, right? No? Oh well, I tried.What I'm trying to say, is that my family and I are going on a road trip. If all goes according to plan, we should have left our house several hours before this will even post.

To get an idea of where we are going, think exactly opposite of this...

By dinnertime tonight, (hopefully) we should reach our first stop along the way, and will be eating pizza in a hotel room, in Albuquerque New Mexico. 2 days from now, we should reach our final destination of Star Valley, Wyoming. Jealous yet? I wouldn't be either.

I'll be spending 6 fun filled days at an elevation I am no longer accustomed to. I look forward to nose bleeds, thinner air, and the need to wear footie pajamas to bed.

Seriously, I went there 2 years ago, in August, and I froze my patootie off. Good news for Roon, I may require some good old fashioned Boy Scout survival techniques to keep warm...

I'll try to update as much as I can on the actual trip, but in case I can't, I hope you'll enjoy all the pre scheduled posts I have lined up.

If you want to stick close to my trip updates, and all my thoughts on it, become my friend on Facebook. Or don't. I'm actually kinda boring on there...

We'd love to come see you sometime if you'd have us. I hope that you don't freeze your patootie off this time but, hey, those survival techniques worked for Jacob and you wouldn't have an Edward around glaring at you :)

My kids do it all day...you may as well do it too!

The Usual Suspects

Sissy

This little bundle of joy cried for the first 6 months of life, and made us wonder why we were ever in such a hurry to have a family. Lucky for all of us, she has mellowed out! Age 7 going on 17, she is like me in every way, and spends her spare time listening to music, and she dreams of being a "rock star". Hopefully we can convince her that rockstars have to go to college to succeed...

Bubble

Our resident math whiz kid, this boy loves to play video games, and would be content to just take a puzzle along if he were to be stranded on a desert island. At age 5, he can out eat his parents, especially when it comes to pizza and pancakes.

Bug

This athlete extraordinairre, has the arm of a quarterback, the legs of a track star, and the tenacity of a triathlete. At three years old he keeps me guessing, and constantly on my toes.

BooEyes (Boo)

This little two year old girl was our one and only surprise package. With a zest for life, and a contagious smile, she quite literally fills our home with sunshine, and rounded out the pattern for symmetry.
